Moved from Chapel en le Frith to the Chepstow/Monmouth area with my dad's job in 1979. The schools insisted on playing eggball so there was a proper football league for youngsters who didn't give a toss about rugby.
So in the East Gwent Under 12s league, my debut was for St Marys sometime late in 1981. I played on the left wing and was hauled off after about an hour. We were a team of 9 year olds in an under 12s League.
Final score: St Mary's 3 Caerwent 26....I did set one up though, cracking defence splitting pass...
